How to link two values to change second value proportionally to the first one.

For example I have

value1 = 6;
value2 = 3;

When the value1 decreasing I need to value2 decrease proportionally. Value1 goes to 3, value2 goes to 1.5 etc.

 

Depends on how you use value2 and which language you're in. If you're just using value2 in script, for example, you could make it a property, in C#:

Code (csharp):

1. public float value1 = 6f;
2. public float value2 {
3. get {
4. return value1 * 0.5f;
5. }
6. set {
7. value1 = value * 2f; //"value" is a special variable that is always existent in a "set" function
8. }
9. }

(don't know the JS syntax for properties offhand)

Properties, unfortunately, don't show up in the inspector.

If you just need to change values themselves, you can use OnValidate, which is called when any public member is changed... though you can't automatically tell which one has changed, so this might be inadequate.

 

Thanks for reply, but I dont really think this is a right way for doing what is needed, considering that the values can be completely different, for example 5.5 and 1, or 7 and 2 etc.
